Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the evening, the Baiyun City army finally cleared the entire outer city of Wu County defenders, but not all the soldiers were killed, and a large part of them were forced to surrender. This is actually very normal, in front of the enemy army whose combat strength is far superior to their own, resistance or anything is a floating cloud, don't you see that those who are struggling to resist have already been in a different place? Surrender is the best option. Anyway, in this troubled world, who is it not desperate for? Surrender is just a change of master, and there is nothing too difficult for these soldiers to accept.
After taking the outer city, Gao Shun and the others all entered the city with the Baiyun City army, and then closed the city gate tightly, and came to occupy the dove's nest with a trick. As for the Xu Gong army in the inner city, Yang Tian adopted a strategy of besieging but not attacking. Although this is somewhat inconsistent with the original plan, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and in the current situation, this approach is undoubtedly more appropriate. Anyway, now nearly two million troops and nobles of the noble clan are besieged in the inner city, and the daily consumption of food is an astronomical amount, and Xu Gong must not be able to hold out in it for long.
When it was dark, a group of troops rushed over, this is the army that Chen Wen had teleported to Wu County through the Guò teleportation array after eliminating the player army harassing outside Shouchun City, and finally arrived in Wu County before dark.
Seeing the army coming, the cavalry general who came to Wu County first finally figured out something. Originally, they entered Wu County in four ways, that is, the four county towns that were teleported to Wu County, but until now, only the three routes of troops have arrived in Wu County, and at first the general thought that it might be that the last army was delayed on the road. However, at this moment, the second batch of troops transmitted over had already arrived in Wu County, including the county towns where the army departed from the army that could not arrive as scheduled. Obviously, this last army had a problem on the way, and it was likely that it was ambushed and wiped out by the Baiyun City army.
Fortunately, they had gathered nearly 600,000 troops here, and all of them were cavalry, which gave them some confidence and felt that they could fight against the Baiyun City army.
At that moment, the general put his army in order, and asked the hooves of all the horses to be wrapped in cotton cloth so as not to make too much noise. According to the general's thoughts, the other party probably thought that they had evacuated. Now sneak past. Maybe you can catch the other party off guard.
However, when they rushed to the outside of Wu County with confidence, they found that it had become an open field, and in addition to the messy ground, they did not even believe that there was still a war here a few hours ago.
At this time. These Yangzhou soldiers even have an illusion. Could it be that the troops of Baiyun City have withdrawn. The reason why this military general does not think that Wu County has been captured. It was because not long ago that they received news from Shouchun that Wu County was still in the hands of Xu Gong, and that the Baiyun City side had not yet begun to attack the inner city. No matter how strong Baiyun City was, it would be impossible to destroy the city stele in such a short period of time and seize the control of the city.
The military general who was the leader was not a fool after all, and he soon thought of the way that these Baiyun City troops might take, and the other party was very likely to enter the city of Wu County, and the purpose was nothing more than relying on the city wall to fight them. But when he thought about it, he didn't have the slightest solution, the reason was that their 600,000 troops were all cavalry unsuitable for siege, and looking at the nine-zhang high city wall, they couldn't do anything but sigh. In fact, this military general also knew that even if his army was composed of all the troops suitable for siege, he would not be able to capture Wu County, which was defended by the army of Baiyun City.
After some deliberation, several generals decided to garrison outside the city and not to attack the city for the time being.
At that moment, all the cavalry began to camp, I have to say, this general also has some ability, at least in terms of camping, it is still good, as many as more than 600,000 troops were arranged by him in an orderly manner, and the periphery was even more heavily defended, and the army of Baiyun City wanted to steal the camp, but it was unlikely. Of course, if Yang Tian personally went out and rode directly into the center of the camp on a flying pet, it would be another matter. For now, few people have been able to crack Yang Tian's attack tactics.
……
What is Yang Tian doing now? Naturally, he didn't plan to come over to attack the camp, and when his status reached his level, the question he considered was no longer how many soldiers and horses to kill, but how to maximize his benefits.
This battle between Yizhou and Yangzhou, in Yang Tian's view, was completely a civil war, and there was no comparison with the previous war with the Wa State. Yang Tian's positioning for this battle is not to gain how many points or how many enemy generals to kill, but to think about how to occupy the entire Yangzhou most easily, and it is best to take Yangzhou without blood. Although Yang Tian also knew that this was absolutely unrealistic, it was possible to kill as few of the opponent's soldiers as possible. As long as Chen Wen and others can be captured or killed in the end, and then threaten other counties in Yangzhou with their own identities, I believe that many people will not fight to the death with themselves.
Of course, the premise of this qiē is that he can fight a few beautiful victories, so that the county guards can not see the hope of victory, so as to threaten success, otherwise just kill Chen Wen by himself, others will not feel that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and such things as surrendering soldiers without a fight are more in books, but it is extremely difficult to implement.
Based on this situation, Yang Tian did not have the idea of fighting those cavalry outside, although he also knew that if he attacked the camp by himself, those cavalry outside would probably be wiped out, and he would be defeated by himself at the worst. But now in Yang Tian's eyes, those cavalry outside will be his own army in Baiyun City in the future, and he can't be too defeated, right?
This night, the whole Wu County is unusually quiet, even the common people who will walk around at night on weekdays are hiding in their own houses and dare not come out, as for the brothels of Qinglou that used to be brightly lit all night have also become black, after all, the city is in the midst of war, who still has the heart to find flowers and ask willows!
As for the armies of the two sides, one did not dare to attack, and the other did not bother to attack, so they also did not move. In this case, Wu County is not quiet but abnormal.
However, in this quiet night, some things are going on, such as a large number of players are constantly pouring into the city of Wu County through the southern gate of Guò, there is no doubt that these players are all teleported from Yizhou, and the speed of these people is naturally not as fast as the cavalry, so they only rushed over when it was dark. And the army that was the first to teleport was naturally the strongest combat force selected by each city, and only when they arrived at Wu County could they play the greatest role.
In fact, these players were able to enter the city of Wu County so smoothly, thanks to the caution of those cavalry legions. If they were stationed at the four city gates, I am afraid that even if Yang Tian didn't want to fight, he would have to clear one of the city gates first, so that these players could progress.
The reason why Yang Tian transferred these players over was naturally to let them help defend the city. You must know that Chen Wen has gathered tens of millions of troops this time, if he really relies on the two armies of lions and greedy wolves under his command and Sun Ce's million troops, I am afraid that he will eventually be consumed to death in this Wu County. Even if they do survive in the end, the two legions will be crippled, and it is unknown how much time it will take to recover. For the main army of White Cloud City, Yang Tian has always cherished it very much, and he is definitely not willing to let them take too much risk unless it is necessary.
On the other hand, transferring these players to participate in the battle between Yizhou and Yangzhou can stimulate their inner sense of belonging to Yizhou. A war like this will make them feel that the expansion of Yizhou is closely related to their efforts, although the process of cultivating a sense of belonging will be very long, and the effect of one or two battles will be minimal, but Yang Tian doesn't mind, he has time to wait.
Throughout the night, Baiyun City brought nearly two million players into Wu County, and these two million players were definitely the most elite part of Yizhou, including some of the people who had previously participated in the battle to defend Chang'an City. However, the way these people who participated in the battle of Chang'an City returned was a bit unconventional, because they were resurrected after being killed. This is also a path that almost more than 90% of the players who participated in the battle of Chang'an City must take.
After these two million players entered Wu County, Yang Tian was completely relieved, no matter how many troops Chen Wen sent over now, he was confident that he would defend Wu County for half a month. As for what will happen after half a month, then there is no need for Yang Tian to think about it, because after half a month, Chen Wen probably won't have the heart to guard outside Wu County anymore.
Although Baiyun City's transfer of players into Wu County has also done corresponding secrecy work, one thing is true, that is, as long as there are a large number of players involved in the action, it is impossible to achieve absolute secrecy. The next morning, Chen Wen received a report from the leader of the player forces in Yangzhou, saying that Yang Tian had transferred two million elite aliens into Wu County, which greatly increased the defense capability of the outer city of Wu County, and similarly, the addition of these troops also made Xu Gong in the city feel great pressure.
Chen Wen blamed the cavalry general he sent in his heart, if he could have been a little more simple or vigilant before, he would not have let these millions of troops sneak into Wu County unconsciously. However, at that time, the military general was only concerned with defense, and he was all focused on how to make his more than 600,000 people safer, and did not pay attention to the movements of the other city gates. But on the other hand, if this military general was not a defense, maybe Yang Tian would have sent an army that night to surround him and force him down. You must know that the reason why Yang Tian didn't want to fight was because he didn't want to cause too many casualties to the other party, not because he didn't want to defeat this army. Although this may sound a bit naïve, how can there be no casualties in war? But in fact, Yang Tian planned to do exactly that, and he did it. Right or wrong, only in the end can we tell.
